The shrimp like specs are copepods (good), the dark snail is a stomatella snail (also good). I think the last ones are little pineapple sponges (good and they will go away soon).

It's kind of hard to tell from those pictures, but if those shrimp like creatures appear to be swimming on their own then they're probably Mysid shrimp. These will sometimes hitchhike their way into our tanks on live rock, corals etc.
